(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best christian pop & contemporary music

One time around 4th grade my mother bought a Christian cd that had a lot of rock Christian song on it. One of them was an Underoath song. I listened to it a TON. I was never able to get on the internet because we lived in the middle of bum fuck egypt and had dial up. Shortly after that my family started watching a Christian rock music program that was on like every sat night. They had a lot of TDWP and Underoath so I just couldn't wait for sat night to stay up decently late and watch it. After watching that for a while there was an old Christian college in my town that had an Amphitheater. My family went to a free concert of what I am assuming to be locals. There was a pretty heavy band there. I loved them. My parents kept wanting to leave but I think I talked them into staying. Needless to say I fell in love <3

EDIT: I found the CD! http://www.amazon.com/2005-17-Christian-Rock-Hits/dp/B0007VF296/ref=pd_sim_m_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=08242T67DEZJ3CM8DF3R

  I'd love to have [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004W5J9/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2BGLS803LCBL5&coliid=I1G80OP0491C3D).

I remember seeing these back in the early/mid- 90's, I think. The name was memorable because spelling America with a "K" has long been way to denote American fascism, something I don't think the Korean makers of this guitar knew. (I'm pretty sure it is Korean-made.)

Nothing valuable--just another Korean copy guitar of fair quality. If it plays well, then that's what matters. But if it were mine, I'd cover up that brand name.

EDIT:

I wonder if Tonio K's album title had anything to do with the guitar name:

Good album, but I prefer his "Life in the Food Chain". Harder to fit on a headstock, though.

David Crowder's "All Creatures of My God and King"

Fernando Ortega is a good resource as well.

Jill Phillips Album Kingdom Come

Randall Goodgames hymnal

There is a whole movement of doing this called Indelible Grace

As an aside, you might be interested in Mercyland: Hymns for the Rest of Us

Or write your own. find a chord progression and flip through an old hymnal for songs you've never heard of and see if something jives.

I have been seeing a lot of requests for things like the trippy elements of the new Tool the last few days. I have been recommending Mindfunk (particularly their Dropped album) as what I think is a excellent match.

Also, as a bit of a longshot, you may like King of Kings.

Probably Plankeye-The Spark

It's an old sort of Christian Alternative album I got back in like 1994 for some reason..it's really good and one of the few albums I've owned forever that I still regularly listen to.

It doesn't really have much of a "Jesus" vibe (except for maybe one song), but it's good enough musically and lyrically that it doesn't bother me, being an atheist/agnostic.

I absolutely love Ginny Owens: Without Condition. She's blind and wanted to be a high school music teacher. Instead, God was calling her to sing Christian music. Her voice is haunting, and her words are deep.

If not the Doug Church Album, Kingtinued https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00000JLT7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DbC9AbV3B6JRW

It might be the Ronnie McDowell album Elvis: A Tribute To The King
